Another morning dog-walk photo; one of the good things about having a dog. You get out there every day, even rainy days, and look around for a new photograph in a place you think you know.
Back in June 2011, I posted backyard photos for a week. Good exercise for those who take pictures. That’s everyone, right?
(I read somewhere that half the photos ever taken were taken in 2012.)

One of the big activities on Salt Spring on the May long weekend is always the Challenge Cup Soccer Tournament. This guy, apparently a rescue dog from New Delhi, India loves to be at the games and loves to try to chase motorcycles going by.
He seemed happy enough to have his portrait captured.

Early morning view of the dinghy dock at the Saltspring Island Sailing Club—home of this weekend’s Round Saltspring 2013 sailing race. More than 100 sailboats, including some super fast racers, will try to be first around this year.
(first around will pretty much always go to an all-out race boat, but with the handicap system in place, in theory everyone has an equal chance at correcting out to first place)
I think I caught a glimpse of Batman in the photo!

This tiny Orchid, and hundreds more are scattered along the trails at Mount Maxwell. The are tiny, about 3 to 4 cm tall.
Though not well marked, it’s a great hike from Seymour Heights Road, up through the towering firs along Trail #1 to the summit and back down to the viewpoints along Trail #4. In pretty much any weather, a stress reliever.
